The accounting apprenticeship program is to create 140 jobs in Ireland this year.
Apprenticeships for Irish Accounting Technicians (ATIs) based in the universities of Cork, Dublin, Galway, Limerick, Monaghan, Waterford and Wicklow are being accepted.
ATI Apprenticeship is a two-year, work-based learning program in which apprentices work, learn, earn, and are funded.
Katie Mikulan, 23, a Dublin-based ATI graduate, first earned her degree before deciding to start her apprenticeship in 2020.
She states: “I got an accounting and finance degree after my diploma, but the college wasn’t what I expected. I didn’t enjoy it as much as I expected and returned in a year and a half.
“Universities can be expensive, but a funded apprenticeship program is a great option.
“If you’re not sure about a full-time third-level education, we recommend an apprenticeship. And if you want to be a fully qualified accountant, we offer an exemption to many top professional accounting institutions. . “
Miclan is currently working as a tax officer at Citibank and hopes to become a full tax adviser to the Irish Tax Institute.
Graduates, diploma students, career changers and mature learners can apply through an Irish accounting technician.
